Close the Gap

When we first designed the DigiTruck, our goal was simple: bring digital opportunity closer to the communities that need it most.

Today, that vision is thriving in Shanzu, Mombasa. During a recent visit, our founder had the privilege of showcasing this growing community ecosystem to H.E. Ambassador Peter Maddens.

What began as a mobile digital classroom has evolved into something far greater. Together with Rhiza Babuyile-FIFOLI and FIFOLI, the DigiTruck has become a multi-purpose community hub serving as a healthcare dispensary, a digital skills and training center, and a café that creates local economic opportunities.

From concept to impact, the DigiTruck continues to prove that meaningful change happens when communities are empowered to shape their own future.

This week in Brussels, Belgian and European business leaders sat down with Kenya's President to talk about the next decade of investment. 🌍

Our founder Olivier Vanden Eynde helped convene a high-level dialogue with H.E. President William Samoei Ruto during his official visit to Belgium, bringing together companies across manufacturing, logistics, food security, digital economy and green growth.

The day also spotlighted the launch of the Kenya Benelux Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KBCCI), the first Kenyan chamber in Europe, supporting the ambition to grow annual investment flows into Kenya towards 1 billion euros by 2030.

As a long-term partner in Kenya's digital economy, we are already looking ahead to what comes next.

The most sustainable computer? The one that already exists. 🌍🌱

Happy World Environment Day! One of this year's messages is a hopeful one: climate impacts are growing, but so are the solutions. We're one of them.

We refurbish IT equipment donated by our partners and give it a second life in schools, clinics, and community centers across 50+ countries. Whatever can't be reused, we recycle responsibly.

Results? ➡️ less e-waste, longer device lifespans, and old tech turned into real opportunity.

New faces, new experiences, and a new chapter ahead.

We're excited to welcome a new group of interns to our South Africa warehouse as they begin their journey with us.

Over the coming months, they'll gain hands-on experience, develop new skills, and get a closer look at how technology can create impact.

Here's to learning, growth, and the opportunities that lie ahead.

Secure IT disposal and meaningful social impact, hand in hand. 🔒💻

Today at CISOday 2026, IT leaders from across the industry came together to discuss the future of data and infrastructure safety. Close the Gap was proud to be part of that conversation.

When companies donate their decommissioned IT equipment, they place their trust in us to handle it responsibly. From certified data wiping to certified refurbishment, we take that seriously.
